I’ve experimented in the past with making modifications to existing models due to a lack of readily available mouse/rodent models for VRChat. I finally have one that I am able to share – a modification of EmperorOfMars’ Squeak Warrior squirrel base!

The Warrior of the Squeak is a free squirrel base model, available either on itch.io or Gumroad.

The mouse modification works with all the features of the base, including the supporter add-ons.

Setup

  1. Download the base from the links above, and set up a new Unity project (Consider purchasing the supporter edition!)
  2. Download the file below, and replace Squeak Warrior/Model/squeak_warrior.fbx
  3. Configure the blendshapes on the Body game object, setting them to 100 (or tweak to your liking):
    • ToesLonger
    • SnootBigger
    • SnootPointier
    • IncisorTeethVisible
    • ToggleOffHipFluff
    • ToggleOffTailFluff
    • TailThinner
    • SnootLonger
    • MouseEars
  4. You’re all set!

Caveats

  • This is currently only a modification for the PC version of the model – Quest is not supported, and it cannot be used as a fallback
  • This is based on a slightly older version of the model; the nose ring is not included
  • There are 1-2 small weight painting bugs on the tail that I have been unable to fix
